Opinion by

Norman H. Collins (claimant) appeals to us from an order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board), which affirmed a referee’s decision denying him benefits.1 The Board found that he had three unexcused absences from work, that he had been given a written warning for being away from his work area, and that he had been suspended for two days for entering the employer’s plant while under the influence of intoxicating beverages. The Board also found that, after his fourth absence, he returned with a medical release, but in fact had not been examined by a physician and the release had been obtained from a physician’s nurse who gave it to the claimant because he was intoxicated and she was afraid of him. The claimant contends that this last finding of the Board is based solely on hearsay, and thus cannot stand. Walker v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 27 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 522, 367 A.2d 366 (1976). We believe, however, that there is sufficient corroboration of the finding of *473the Board inasmuch as the claimant admitted that the physician did not examine him and that the release, which purported to be signed by the physician, was written by the nurse.

We, therefore, affirm the Board.

Order

And Now, this 14th day of November, 1978, the order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review in the above-captioned matter is hereby affirmed.
